“You needn’t try then!” and Cora’s voice had a tint of snap in it.
“Don’t get mad,” Ed advised her. “Give my love to the girls, and tell ’em we’ll be with ’em soon. Do you want to talk to Jack again?”
“No, only tell him to please come to-night. I want to talk to him.”
“About that girl, I expect.”
“I don’t believe a word about her.”
“Ha! I’ll show you a lock of her hair.”
“Then I’d surely know you were fooling. Say, listen, you will make Jack come; won’t you, Ed?”
“Surest thing you know. Shall I say good-bye?”
“If you can’t think of anything else to say.”
“All right. See you soon.”
